MEDIAVAUNU 2003-2005 - THE LINE OF 24 MEDIA STOPS
SATAKUNTA MOVING PICTURE CENTRE (SMPC) / MEKA TV
Satakunta Moving Picture Centre is the regional centre for the motion picture. It has been operating over 12 years. One of the essential functions of the centre is to offer local people various kind of media education. Mediavaunu was developed to this need. Mediavaunu offers the education, the help and the equipment to the inhabitants of the small villages in order to create their own media. Mediavaunu consists of the guide person and the basic equipment to create the digital media. Products can be Internet sites, virtual photo exhibitions, own videos, documents and animations.
In the route of Mediavaunu there are 24 media stops, where own media has been created. During the project Mediavaunu has reached about 1200 persons. They have either made the movies or participated as viewers to the grand premieres. Approximately 400 persons have participated in the movie making or Internet site making process.
Mediavaunu operates in these villages, cities and municipalities in the Satakunta region
Mediavaunu-project
started in the end of the year 2003 and will end in the end of the year 2005.
The project has been very
successful. The villagers' enthousiastic and exited attitude and media
students' good interest to develop new methods and tools has played a big role
in this success. Remarkable is also the expanding of the human network of SMPC
and MEKA TV during this project. New villages are reached, the feedback from
the villagers has been positive and there seems to be the need to the
permanent Mediavaunu activities.
